Canterbury, Your Place, Your Stories

I have had a lot to tell about the carnage and effects the earthquakes have had on me, my family, and my city. But mostly, it is what it has done to the pysche that is the most difficult to understand, and while text-based communications can never do it justice, I have tried to paint a picture for those who don’t understand, who have been so lucky not to be involved, and because I find it hard to talk about.

And due to the volumes I have written it is best I share the link to my blog and you read what and when you want… please note, I tell it as I see it, and use language that seemed appropriate at the time, so if you are in anyway easily offended or a PC cop, don’t bother. Stick to your Womans Weekly and Mills & Boons.

Our Goal

The earthquakes that struck Canterbury in 2010 and 2011 are among the most significant events in New Zealand history. QuakeStories is a place to share your stories of these and other New Zealand quakes (Seddon, 2013; Kaikōura, 2016), how they affected you - wherever you live, the aftermath and the ongoing story of the rebuilding. It will become a record for future generations, one that will continue to grow long after the quakes stop being news.
